Jun. 10th, 2008 10:35 amAs Good Old Lucius would've told me right from the beginning, trying to be good never really pays.
Thought: Bonis studere rebus numquam iuvat (Aspiring to goodness never helps) might make a nice Malfoy motto.
Anyway, sometimes I have those strange urges to lead a healthier life - being good never extends as far as my morals, since those are beyond improving anyway, and I'm too old for such foolishness.
It's not all silly of course, because if one is less averse to the consumption of alcohol than your average human being, trying whether you can do without isn't a bad idea. So that's what I did, or have been doing for about two weeks. The result is a kind of mixed blessing, and one ought to be wary of mixed blessings. I clearly don't need the alcohol, at least not in order to get through life, but it seems I need it in order to sleep.The truth of the matter is that now I can't sleep more than 4 or maximum 5 hours per night, which isn't enough. Then again, I just can't get myself to believe that the lack of one glass of wine and a small whisky should make *that* much of a difference - maybe the two events don't have any causal link.
Considering that life is much cheaper without buying alcohol, though, I'll just go on. I'm healthy, after all, and so the body is likely to catch up on sleep when it needs it.
Not enough with banning alcohol from my home, I started with a bit of exercise. I like doing it, and it's good for me, but unfortunately I now have a small but painful lump at the back of my left knee - the typical result of doing too much exercise at the beginning. So I'll have to pause for a few days. My inner lazy devil is looking very smug.
Why doesn't watching football on TV have the same effect as exercising? (Not lump-wise though)
Gleeful afterthought: Turkey lost to Portugal, hah!
